Dome Wrap Up!

The Roslyn Band today continued it's move to the big time. Today, at 10:30am, the band did the most powerful, incredible, and precise performance of any Roslyn band. Today, the band rose higher into the big time. The energy was phenomenal. Today, the band was the talk of the dome. Today, the band became a professional band with concentration, focus, and energy. We peaked, big time, wow. I am so proud of how the band did. That was clearly a "Championship" performance. Let's face it. Unfortunately, the judges didn't agree and that's ok. They have a right to their opinions, we have to respect that, because.......you've heard me say it before. They will soon crown us champions. We will run through these classes in a record time period. We have already started.

I just happened to stumble onto this very interesting file on my computer. Two years ago, prior to the 2005 season we set these goals. I talked about it to the entire band and hung this up in the bandroom. I showed everyone in the band where we are going. LOOK! We are totally on track. Check it out! And remember, all the Band members are involved in this, from the Roslyn alumni band members, to the kids now in pre-k who will be that national band. Every one of us are involved. Let's be proud of our amazing accomplishments!
